My five minute old theory is that the franchise became about the characters, not the cars or the spectacle. So as long as the characters stay true to themselves, and the films keep the characters as the focus, it can go on and on. The franchise was pretty much forced into changing focus due to the street racing craze quickly dropping from mainstream popularity, as well as the bad PR that came with a rash of street racing accidents deaths being blamed by the media on the popularity of the movies. Making it more character-centric with insane stunts that your average car enthusiast could never hope to replicate solved those problems as well as having the unexpected bonus of propelling the franchise into legitimate monster blockbuster territory.

In space no one can hear you scream. Except Family. Villain: I just cut off your oxygen tank, Dom. Prepare to die. Dom: I don't got air. I got family. *GTO drives across the International Space Station*

I want Dom to wear his usual tank-top outfit just with a space helmet.

The Fast series going full Family Matters. Will one of them fly using a satellite or fart due to baked beans? I'm confusing Family Matters with one of the Air Buddies movies.

Yessssssss The thing to understand about that series that I keep having to explain to people is you are not smarter than the fans, we're in on the joke.I see every installment of this series. And I love it because it's SO over the top and SO wild. It's a big, dumb, wild blockbuster with a super diverse cast and an emphasis on found family. I love it. Go into space. For family. YES. Exactly

Charlize Theron had a device that controlled all the cars and Idris Elba was a god damn superhuman so why the f*** not?

It's tough to think of the franchise "jumping the shark" at this point, but this... this might be it.... Nah. That won't happen until they get to the sequel out in the ocean.

well that certainly sounds... hmm... there feels like there is a word that I can't think of that would fit really well here... a word that means like... causing laughter due to the absurdity of hte situation... unfortunately I do not think such a word exists...

They should also do a crossover with that horror movie "The Car". Where Dom and the gang have to battle it, and through the use of family get it and the devil to join the family. *nods* That way we can get a fast and the furious horror movie.

Next up on the list after space...time traveling clone saga.
After saving space from the aliens of independce day they collpase all of space and time and then get chucked back to the beginning of their story where they have to change the timeline so they do not collpase the space cotinum...so the solution is they have to kill their past selves and take their place.
This then f***s things up further and now Dom has to battle his other selves from alternate movies.
Dom Vs Riddick Vs Dom with Groot Voice Vs Dom who did that babysitter disney movie Vs Xander from the XXX movies

The FatF franchise needed to be in the MCU!
Imagine Dom and the gang making their entrance during the portal scene from Endgame
